In conjunction with the purchase of all the issued and outstanding shares of a foreign distributor in October 2019 (see Note 2, "Acquisitions"), we recorded $3.4 million of Customer relationships, a definite-lived intangible assets.

In conjunction with the purchase of all the issued and outstanding membership interests of Exact Diagnostics, LLC in August 2019 (see Note 2, "Acquisitions"), we recorded $28.7 million of goodwill and $26.8 million of definite-lived intangible assets: $16.1 million of Customer relationships, $8.1 million of Developed product technology, $2.5 million of Tradenames and $0.1 million of Backlog.

In conjunction with the purchase of all the issued and outstanding stock of a small U.S. private company in March 2019 (see Note 2, "Acquisitions"), we recorded $15.6 million of goodwill that included workforce and time-to-market advantage, $5.5 million of Developed product technology, a definite-lived intangible asset, and $0.2 million of In-process research and development, an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In March 2018, we wrote off $1.4 million of goodwill from our Clinical Diagnostics segment as a result of a divestiture of a product line.

In 2018, we impaired goodwill associated with our 1999 acquisition of Pasteur Sanofi Diagnostics S.A., 2007 through 2012 acquisitions of DiaMed Holding AG, DiaMed Fennica Oy, DiaMed (G.B.) Limited, and DiaMed Benelux (collectively DiaMed), 2010 acquisition of Biotest AG, and 2013 acquisition of AbD Serotec in the amounts of $18.1 million, $247.2 million, $10.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Goodwill for DiaMed, Biotest AG and AbD Serotec was fully impaired at December 31, 2018. Impairments for the Pasteur Sanofi Diagnostics S.A., DiaMed and Biotest AG were included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment's results of operations, and the impairment for AbD Serotec was included in our Life Science segment's results of operations.

The impairments were based upon a revision of our Level 3 valuation inputs, i.e., expected future cash flows.
